Additional Opto-isolation Features (available on ES-U-11xx and ES-U-21xx)
• Each RS-232 or RS-422/RS-485 port is individually isolated with 2000 volt DC optical isolation
• Each RS-232 or RS-422/RS-485 port is individually protected by a surge protector to withstand
electrostatic discharge and power surges up to 25KV ESD
Note 1 ES-U-1032-RM has RJ45 ports which can be converted to DB-9 male if required using the supplied cables
Note 2 Terminal block has subset of these signals only – see section 6 for details
ES-U-2101-MB also features RS232 but only a subset of these signals – see section 6 for details
Note 3 Support multiple serial protocols - Jumpers or DIP switches are used to select the required serial protocol
